To promote a thriving downtown, the City of Kirkland believes parking should be convenient, accessible, and readily available.  Parking should also be affordable with rules that are easily understood.  Please answer the following questions to help the City find ways to meet these parking objectives.  As you answer the questions, consider your experience at two public parking lots only: 1) Lake Street & Central Way; and 2) Lakeshore Plaza/Marina Park.
